Education of Russian Women.

Statistics have just been issued as to

az Russian universities in 1886. The total
number of female students amounted to

Vegetable Penrls.

1t has long been known that in some
specimens of bamboo a round stone is
found at the joints of the cane. This is
called "tabasheer," and is supposed to be
deposited from the silicious juices of the
cane. Another curiosity of this sort is
the ''cocoanut stone" found in the
endosperm of the cocoanut in Java and
other East India Islands. 1t is, accord
ing to DIR. Kimmins, pure carbonate of
lime, and the shape of the stone is some
times round, sometimes pear shaped,
while the appearance is tIat of white
pearl without much luster. Some of the
stones are as large as cherries, and as
hard as feldspar or opal. They are very
rarely found, and are regarded as precious
stones by Orientals, and charms against
disease or evil spirits by the natives.
Stones of the kind are also found in the
pomegranate and other East India fruits.
Apatite has also been discovered in the
midst of teak wood. Engineering.

1t is a singular fact that the United
States, Wfile strong III resources, is en-
tirely dependent upon foreign countries
for the gold and tinsel which is used in
decorating her officers Of the army and
navy when on dress parade. A military
officer, no matter what flag he fights
under, must have certain amount Of
glitter about his shoulders or he cannot
do justice to the government which en-
ploys him. Epaulets and shoulder knots
are as essential to well regulated army or
navy as are the guns and ammunition
used ON the enemy. Yet, in spite of the
fact that there are 6,000 or 1000 officers
in the United States who must have gold
cord, gold lace and gilded epaulets, there
is not single mandatory in the coun-
try where this "war MATERIAL can DO

An Almost Human Monkey.

Massica was female chimpanzee, kept
in the Dresden geological gardens. She
was remarkable, not only in her habits,
but in her disposition. At one mo-
ment she would sit still, with n BROOD
ing air, occasionally darting mischievous
glance at the spectators; at another, she
took pleasure in feats of strength, or
roamed about in her spacious Enclosure,
like an angry beast of prey.
Massica was frequently ungovernable.
She would obey no one but the director
of the garden. Sometimes when she was
in a good humor she would sit upon his
knee, and put her muscular arms about
his neck, with caressing gesture; but,
in spite of this occasional clemency, he
was never safe from her roguish tricks.
She knew how to use gimlot, wiring
out wet clothes, and put handkerchief
to its legitimate use. IL allowed to do so,
she would draw off the keepers boots,
scramble with them to some place out OF
reach, and then throw them at his head.
Once she succeeded in opening the lock
of her cage, and, having done so, stole
the key. 1t was kept hanging on the
wall outside, and Massica, observing it,
took it down, hid it in her armpit, and
crept quietly back to her cage. When
occasion again served her purpose she
easily opened the lock with her key and
walked out.
She died of consumption. Just before
her death she put her arm about the
directors neck, looked at him placidly,
kissed him three times, stretched out her
hands to him and died.-Youth's Com

Sabot Wearing in France.

In certain parts of France not only
peasants, but well to do cafe proprietors,
cabmen, tramcar drivers and conductors
wear "sabots" in winter time, not the
common, clumsy, all wood sabot, but
with uppers OF stiff leather, the soles
only being of wood. They are called
''soques," and are worn with wooden
stockings and an extra stout sock, shaped
like an ordinary elastic sock, with the
toe cut off, called ''chausson," drawn
over the stocking, so as to prevent the
heel and instep from being unduly
rubbed. Children, from the time they
walk, wear them, and run about in them
Just as well as in boots, and never have
wet feet.-Boston Transcript.

judge before whom a man was being
tried for stealing the gold watch of a
woman as she was taking a street-car.
The neatness of the examination will
remind the reader of Oriental stories.
The man declared that the watch
was his, and the woman was mistaken
in identifying it as hers. Suddenly
the judge asked: where's the key?'
The prisoner fumbled in his pockets,
and said he must have left it at home
The judge asked him if he had wound
the watch frequently with the key. and
he said Yes
Then a key was procured, watch and
key were handed the prisoner, and he
was told to wind the watch. He
opened the case, but could not find
any place to use the key, because the
watch was a stem-winder.
The sentence was five years and a
half. = Youths Companion.
